There are many strange notices con-
nected with the exit OF soul from the body
at death. One is, and it is said still to
obtain in this as well as in other countries,
that the departure of life is delayed so
long as any locks or bolts in the house are
fastened. This Is a common superstition
in France and Germany and Is also found
among the Chinese, who make hole in
the roof TO let out the soul. In some parts
of Holland when child is dying persons
shade it from the parents gaze with their
hands to hide the sympathetic glance,
which is supposed to detain the soul.
Every one knows how common the super
stition regarding nurses in connection
with death has been, as perhaps it still is.
There was the ''death watch
The solemn death watch clicks the hour of death,
Then the bowling of dogs at night has
been long and firmly believed in. Another
omen of death is the lowering of birds
around a house and their tapping against
a window pane; another is the Growing OF
a cock at midnight. So, fires and candles
have been considered indicators of ap-
preaching death-cOffins flying out of the
former and winding sheets guttering down
the latter. Indeed, the supersttions on
the subject have been endless, and, if this
be in reality an age of skepticism, and
much doubt exists in our midst as to the
reality of anything which we can neither
touch, taste nor handle, there is some
comfort in thinking that we have at least
come to disbelieve, among other things, in
much that is ridiculous and mischievous
Many great men have expressed wish
as to the kind of death they wanted to die,
and they have mostly desired sudden
death. Caesar, Gustavus Adolphus and
Nelson are among the number. Caesar
was murdered, Gustavus Adolphus died
on the battle field of Lutzen and Nelson
at Trafalgar amid the roar of cannon.
Perhaps in this matter old Fuller, who
had thought over all possible modes Of
exit, arrived at the wiscst conclusion:

WHITING.
ter of nine

Sunday. the Goth ult., was observed at
the Congregational church in this town
as children's day. The audience-room
was very beautifully decorated with
flowers and pot-plants. The pulpit plat
form was one mass of flowers and a floral
arch passing over the front added very
much to the artistic effect, while masses
of ferns in the corners and plants in the
windows made the whole OBJECT of the
decorations very striking. Singing birds
were also brought in, and lent their aid
to the choir in pleasing unison. Too
much credit cannot be given to the ladies
who gave so much unremitting effort in
behalf of the happy observance OF the
day. The congregation was large, en-
bracing several strangers. and the sermon
was in harmony with the sentiment of
the occasion. In the evening the children
furnished an exercise for the enjoyment
of the large company present, completely
filling the church. How well the children
performed their part can be understood
by those who have attended similar
gatherings in this place. The severa
speakers acquitted themselves well, while
it is declared by good judges that the
singing was never better rendered. The
day with its exercises and lessons will
not soon be forgotten by those who had
any share in them.

Robert CARROTS Trousers.

Robert Garrett furnished no end of
amusement to the telegraph operators
in his employ, and among a large num-
here and in Baltimore he enjoyed the
distinction of being dubbed a "chump."
He obtained the title, it is said, in this
way: One day he reached his Balti-
more office in steaming hurry. 1t
really looked to insiders as if he had
something of Importance on his hands
and was anxious to get rid of it in a
hurry. 1t was evidently a matter
worthy of mucn care.
The great man sat down at his desk.
He reached for some paper, jabbed a
pen in an ink bottle, and squared him
self. He wrote for a full minute with
out rest. Then he sat up, stuck the
end of the penholder between his teeth
and bit it. After chewing and rumin-
ating for five minutes, he attacked the
paper again. The pen moved along
more or less smoothly for five minutes.
A halt was called. The great man
read what he had written and tore it up.
Those around him wondered what
he was about. His Office was furnished
with a stenographer and typewriter,
but upon neither of these did the great
man call He was evidently engaged
upon a matter that could only be dis
posed of by himself.
He grabbed fresh sheet of paper.
He tiled that with straight and curved
lines and tore it up. The Office was
becoming worked up to a high pitch
of excitement.
Another sheet Of paper was tackled.
Slowly and by jerks it was filled with
writing. The effort was read and read
again by the great man. 1t was ap-
parently satisfactory. He sighed and
signed it; then he handed it to a min
ion, who transferred it to a telegraph
operator. There were about three
hundred words in it, and in its compo-
sition the great man had consumed an
hour. When the dispatch reached the
operating-room it was passed around.
Its contents were too striking for the
digestion of one man. When it reach
ed the operating-room in this city it
was passed around, with the comment:
That's the kind of a chump you're
working for"
1t was dispatch from Mr.. Garrett to
his New York tailor about a pair OF
trousers. York San.
